Berlin Faces Major Transit Disruptions Due to Construction and Water Main Breaks

Ongoing U-Bahn renovations and recent water main failures are causing significant delays and rerouting across key transit lines in the city.

The U6 station Seestraße will be closed for southbound trains until autumn 2026 for extensive platform reconstruction and ceiling repairs.
Passengers traveling through the affected U6 station are advised to use alternative routes, including nearby stations and bus lines, for the duration of the closure.
A New Year’s Eve water main break on Seestraße in Wedding has caused long-term disruptions to tram lines M13 and 50, with replacement buses struggling through heavy traffic.
In Spandau, a separate water main break on Seeburger Straße has led to road closures and bus detours, impacting thousands of daily commuters.
Repairs to the damaged 97-year-old water line in Wedding are expected to last until May, with ongoing traffic restrictions and partial lane closures in the area.
